Thought processes throughout the project

This is my reflective thought processes throughout the whole project where i will explain whats has happened and my thoughts on my Opening Title Sequence.


Thursday 12th November;
today we got given our groups, i was quiet pleased at i ended up with kathryn powell and annie hopkins and us three work well together as we found out in our continuity piece. we then decided to start thinking of an idea for our opening title sequence, annie wanted to do horror and me and kathryn agreed this would be good to do.

wednesday 18th november;
today we did our big picture where we discussed what the idea would be for our openinig title sequence.


Friday 15th January;
As me an kathryn was in an exam, annie had loaded our footage and start cutting up and deleting things which are not needed for example laughing, and she said she was really getting quite worried and 'stressed' because she had notice the lack of Camera angles and shot and personally we felt it really had brought down the whole footage as we and others thought the lighting was lite perfect.

we all agreed with annie, so now we all have decided as a group to re-shot our footage. And also we had noticed we didn't stick to our original plan; 'The Big Picture' because in our storyboards, we had 4 people doing the Ouija board and in our first shooting we only had two, so now we are going to try and stick with that original plan.

Wednesday 20th January;
Today in lesson, the whole group sat down and discussed our opening title sequence about re shooting and our ideas. we then came up with this new idea for the shooting of the Credits, instead of having the pan across, we're going to make this prop; a old looking book witch some how flys open onto the credits written inside in black ink.
firstly we thought this would look much better but also it would fit into our opening title sequence much better, as the writing will be written 'childish' of which would be the child that is summoned through the Ouija bored.

Tuesday 26th January;
Today the group decided to make our prop for the credits, a book.We decided to write a Diary Entry in it as an extra feature along side of the credits.Annie wrote in a joined handwriting italic, also we decided to write the title 'Child's Play' on the cover of the book instead of on the tags as we thought it would relate more. Also Annie came up with this idea that we could use perhaps with the Diary Entry; we could have an over voice of a girl to say the Entry, which we might add in, but we are not sure yet.We are re filming today after school and hopefully everything goes to plan, may have to stay a little late but luckily everyone is willing to. So lets see how it goes...

Thursday 28th January;
Today is the showing day to the rest of the class and I'm a bit nervous, as we are not completely finished. however, this is just a practise one so that groups can get feed back and be informed on how others think the sequence could be improved and why they like it. soon will make a new post on our feed backs and will appear below. Filming on the 26th went according to plan and the footage, personally, i think was better than the first time we shot as we had three actors rather than 2. the editing yesterday after school went okay too which i am pleased about. Today we also agreed to have an extra piece of sound in the background throughout the whole opening title sequence of a piano piece, of which our drama teacher Ian Emslie will compose for us once we shown him our title sequence. we are keeping the "ring o ring o roses" and that will appear a quarter way through on the 360 degrees. Showing time...
